Pinochet. Chile was on the verge of a commie revolution and its economy was in the shitter due to the socialist president. What most people don't realize is that the Chilean Congress asked him to take control and kick ass on the commies, which is exactly what he did.

Spain was starving when Franco took it.
When he left we were the 8th most industrialized nation in the wordl and our democracy lived on it´s benefits till 2008.
Everyone had a house (or more), almost no taxes, strong public services, no unemployement, 0 national debt...
Not saying he was good/bad/whatever, but in therms of economy&society he did a good job imo.

Not the guy you replied to, but indulge yourself with me for a moment. Hitler took Germany, a country in a great depression, with the debt of the great war on its shoulders, and turned it into a world superpower in less than 20 yrs. He had a strong sense of a nuclear family, encouraging women to be stay at home mothers and reproduce so the men could work, and had anti smoking laws for a healthier Germany, and many laws against the suffering of animals, for a more humane Germany. Everyone was a patriot and loved their country, and had he not invaded Poland/gassed the jews, with the progress Germany was making, they would've been unparalleled in power and technology by any other country. His greatest weakness was prematurely going to war, and alienating a minority, because then the whole world painted them as monsters. Bear in mind, Hitler was man of the year in like, 1938 I think.
Regarding Gaddafi, I'm not well informed on that subject to make any claims.
